%N Norms of prime ideals of Z[sqrt(-5)].

%C Consists of primes congruent to 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9 (mod 20) together with the squares of all other primes.

%C From _Jianing Song_, Feb 20 2021: (Start)

%C The norm of a nonzero ideal I in a ring R is defined as the size of the quotient ring R/I.

%C Note that Z[sqrt(-5)] has class number 2.

%C For primes p == 1, 9 (mod 20), there are two distinct ideals with norm p in Z[sqrt(-5)], namely (x + y*sqrt(-5)) and (x - y*sqrt(-5)), where (x,y) is a solution to x^2 + 5*y^2 = p.

%C For p == 3, 7 (mod 20), there are also two distinct ideals with norm p, namely (p, x+y*sqrt(-5)) and (p, x-y*sqrt(-5)), where (x,y) is a solution to x^2 + 5*y^2 = p^2 with y != 0; (2, 1+sqrt(-5)) and (sqrt(-5)) are respectively the unique ideal with norm 2 and 5.

%C For p == 11, 13, 17, 19 (mod 20), (p) is the only ideal with norm p^2. (End)

%e Let |I| be the norm of an ideal I, then:

%e |(2, 1+sqrt(-5))| = 2;

%e |(3, 2+sqrt(-5))| = |(3, 2-sqrt(-5))| = 3;

%e |(sqrt(-5))| = 5;

%e |(7, 1+3*sqrt(-5))| = |(7, 1-3*sqrt(-5))| = 7;

%e |(23, 22+3*sqrt(-5))| = |(23, 22-3*sqrt(-5))| = 23;

%e |(3 + 2*sqrt(-5))| = |(3 - 2*sqrt(-5))| = 29;

%e |(6 + sqrt(-5))| = |(6 - sqrt(-5))| = 41. (End)
